"This is a book I wish every child everywhere could have read to them when they're young, then read to themselves when they're older, and then read to their children when they're much older. The book your child, grandchild, or student needs is HERE!" -- Brian D. McLaren , author of Corey and the Seventh Story "In Here: The Dot We Call Home, Laura Alary reminds us that home is the daily spaces we inhabit, the history we are a part of, and the universe that holds us. In this book, she beautifully weaves humanity into relationship with the creatures around us and the Earth herself, reminding us that while we can't fix all the problems we encounter, we can be present to the life we've been given. That is enough. I'm so grateful for this book and what it will teach kids and adults alike about how to practice kinship and belonging." -- Kaitlin Curtice , award-winning author of Native "Laura Alary's The Dot We Call Home , teaches children to be co-sustainers in a real place, right where they are. What could be more important, loving, or more human than that?" -- Randy Woodley , author of Becoming Rooted: One Hundred Days of Reconnecting with Sacred Earth "Alary's book draws us into the intimacy of our immediate home and then expands us out into ever widening circles to our biggest home--deep time and deep space.

What a terrific message for children to learn.and feel!" -- Jennifer Morgan , President of Deeptime Network "Creation care starts at home as Laura Alary shows in this beautiful, delightful, and heartwarming book." -- Grace Ji-Sun Kim , Professor of Theology and author of Invisible "Amidst climate catastrophe, how do we lovingly prepare kids for all that is to come? Perhaps the first step is to invite children to fall intimately in love with the place that nourishes their bodies. And to remember that we are part of a story that has gone on before us and will continue after we are gone. Laura Alary invites us into this beautiful work through the eyes of one child offering joy, memory, and imagination about our place on this planet." -- Lydia Wylie-Kellerman , editor of The Sandbox Revolution: Raising Kids for a Just World " A perfect book for anyone who cares about the Earth and children! Laura Alary offers a vision of hope at a time when many kids feel powerless. With lyrical writing and beautiful pictures, The Dot We Call Home invites people to find love and possibility." -- Amelia Richardson Dress , author of The Hopeful Family: Raising Resilient Children in Uncertain Times.
